diesel engines
Heavy machinery hearts
Diesel engines are internal combustion engines that ignite fuel through compression rather than spark plugs.
Named for German engineer Rudolf Diesel, they're known for efficiency and durability, powering trucks, ships, trains, and heavy machinery.
The diesel engine rumbled to life.
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel, which is denser than gasoline.
